I don't often go to old town, but Barstool Scottsdale is the official venue for the University of Michigan Alumni Club, Phoenix's football watch parties. Which is no surprise because Dave Portoroy, the owner of Barstool, is a Michigan grad. I've checked out this sports bar twice, both on football Saturdays. With it being old town, parking isn't easy, but I've been able to find street parking both times a few minutes away by foot. Ambiance (4/5): Pretty awesome for a sports bar. There are a ton of TVs, which is number one for a sports bar. They play the sound during MIchigan games, which is very important. There's both a downstairs and upstairs area, both with their own bars. As well as a patio in the front. There are booths, high top seating, bar seating, and VIP areas. Despite the size of the bar, it gets packed which takes away from the experience for me. And at night, they have a DJ and they start blasting music, so the vibe changes. Service (3.5/5): For the watch parties, we have had our own waitress. She has done a good job both times taking care of a large group, which isn't easy. Outside of that, it can take a while to get your drink at the bar due to the crowds and not having enough bartenders. And the first time I was there, the upstairs bar wasn't open when the game started, so there were some logistical issues there. Food (3.5/5): Pretty solid for bar food. I've had the mozzarella sticks, giant pretzel, and the chips and three dips. The portion sizes for all three of the appetizers were generous, especially the latter two. The giant pretzel definitely lives up to the namesake. Good food to munch on as you're watching the game. Drinks (3.5/5): Barstool has a full bar so pretty much what you would expect at a sports bar: a decent list of cocktails, beer, seltzers, and wine. What stands out to me is their group drinks. I've done the giant margarita (for two people) and the giant Moscow mule (for two people). Beyond the presentation (huge glasses/mugs) that make an impression, it's always fun to do a group drink. The drinks are a little overpriced, but it is Old Town. If you're wanting to watch the game, Barstool Scottsdale makes for a solid choice. Go blue!

BARSTOOL REVIEW ***HALLOWEEN EDITION*** Absolutely do Halloween at Barstool with your friends. At least once. DJs were fire and so is the view from the top. Do or do not order a kamikaze, but expect a line at the door, queens. It's all part of the experience!

Church Music IPA
Rob K.

I was at Barstool Scottsdale during the NCAA tournament. We were looking for a place to watch the games and this certainly fit the bill. Seating is a challenge because the majority of booths are probably for bottle service or have a table minimum. We were able to get seating along the rail upstairs which was fine. Waitress still stopped by occasionally to check on us. I had a few IPAs (Church Music). They were cold. I didn't eat. This is a fun place to watch a sporting event but it is fairly generic. Probably won't have a bad time here but I imagine it is all based on your group.

Egg sandwich on a bagel
Tina M.

The atmosphere is great and the drinks are reasonably priced. The food is average bar food. Maybe the burgers are a good bet. The turkey sandwich & egg sandwich were a bust. The service was great! I would have to give a suggestion: wipe down the menus! I felt I needed hand sanitizer after touching it.

Turkey Avocado Club
Drew M.

Very energetic place in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Service was solid, food was very good. Specifically, the Turkey Avocado Club sandwich was my favorite. Highly recommend the pesto aioli. Seating is a bit odd and hard to gather with everyone. There are many places in Scottsdale that I'd like to try, but will be back sometime soon to try other menu items.

My wife and I came to Barstool Sports Scottsdale to watch March Madness games here and this place is a vibe! Service here is outstanding, and Taylor our bartender was very kind and sweet and gave us solid food/drinks recommendations. This place definitely has all that you need when it comes to a sports bar: food/drinks, atmosphere, tons of TV, DJ, and more importantly ... friendly staff! We are Scottsdale locals and will definitely be coming back here!

Matt L.

If you're looking for a good vibe on a weekend night or a chill place to watch football during the day, barstools the spot. Food is nothing to write home about but it is decent. Service is always great. Jaylen is probably the best bartender in AZ, and Taylor is really great too. Love coming here.

This place is awesome and the and the bartenders are friendly and helpful here. The nachos and quesadillas were delicious and so were the drinks. The atmosphere of this bar was cool. It was crowded when we came for my sister's 30th Birthday

Watched a couple football games here pretty good deals on wings and drinks. Nice ambience plenty of…read moreTVs.

I sent an email directly to the company (management@mothertuckerstavern.com) on Monday, April 6th…read more2026 in an attempt to have this resolved without posting a negative review. Unfortunately, I have not heard back. Below is a copy of that email: Good morning, We came in on Saturday, April 4th, 2026 and ordered the Two 4 One Bubbles special. This is something we have ordered frequently in your establishment, most recently on March 8th, 2026. Every time we have purchased this, the Wycliff bottles have been $25. This means that we should receive 2 bottles for $25.01 based on the special listed on your menu. When we received the check, we were charged $50.01 for the 2 bottles. We pointed out the mistake to the bar tender who said the price was correct. We informed her that we have come here approximately once/month for the last year and the cost has never been $50 for a bottle of Wycliff. She asked another employee to come over and we explained the same issue to her. She (we did not get her name) said she has been a Manager there for several years and that has always been the price. I told her we have ordered this special over the last year and we would never pay $50 for a bottle of Wycliff. She refused to adjust our check. I asked her to show me on a menu where a bottle of Wycliff costs $50. Of course, she was not able to do that because it doesn't exist. We generally are very generous with our tip, as we consider this a good deal and the staff is usually great. - I have attached a copy of the receipt. We would like to continue to frequent Mother Tuckers, as we have always had a good time and like to bring friends visiting from out of town. I am hopeful this was an oversight by your employees and a refund will be put back on my credit card for the overcharge.

I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out, it was such a vibe!…read more I came around 530 pm on a Tuesday and it was busy. There is a small parking lot that they share with the coffee shop next door, but it was full and I had to park on the street. Indoor/outdoor seating is available, and it was the perfect night for being outside. I loved the string lights and the sunset was awesome. They offer beer, cider and white claw here. The person working let me sample a few beers before I decided on the Birthday Suit beer. It was delicious! There are food trucks/tents throughout the week, and on this day there was a pizza place. I didn't order one but they did smell and look delicious. There was even a small brick oven! Goldwater also puts on Bend and Brew events with Hot Yoga University when the weather is nice. It is a lot of fun! I can't wait to check this place out again.

Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

This was such a nice hole in the wall. If you're not paying attention you'll drive right past it!…read more The Spinach and Artichoke Dip might be one of the best I've ever had, I'd come back just for that alone! The only thing is you need to ask for extra bread, the bread that was given just wasn't enough, but they made some fresh pieces just for us! The pizza crust is so crispy without even a touch of the bottom being burnt. We will definitely be back!

I've heard about Craft 64 and we spotted it while driving through old town so decided to stop in…read morefor drinks and an appetizer. The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.
